...poetic onslaught on Soviet anti-Semitism (TIME, Nov. 3), Russia's indomitable Evgeny Evtushenko, 28, stirred up a new hullaballoo by rebuffing the lionization of the young intelligentiki and flatly denying that his outspokenness made him "a brave man." Wrote Evtushenko in Russia's Literaturnaya Gazeta (Kiev edition only...

Such traditional Jewish practices as circumcision, bar mitzvah, and the baking of unleavened bread drew sneering allusions in the Soviet press to "fanatics of the Talmud," who practice "cruelty rituals." In August Kiev's humorous monthly Perets (Pepper) lumped Jews, Nazis and Konrad Adenauer together in a grotesque front-page cartoon that placed the swastika inside the Star of David.

He attacks his favorite target, Khrushchev, with such passion that the paper occasionally feels it necessary to put the damper on Fritz: last week his editors vetoed a Behrendt proposal to draw two Dutchmen convicted in Kiev as spies, beneath a bed occupied by a snoozing Khrushchev. Most of the paper's 70,000 subscribers are delighted with Behrendt's daring lance work-with one notable and royal exception. In 1959, after Behrendt showed Khrushchev changing from angel to devil and back again, former Queen...
